Problem
OpenClaw Gateway crashes or hangs with these errors: spawn EBADF when running exec commands RPC probe failed / gateway timeout Logs show EMFILE: too many open files, watch Gateway process is running but unresponsive
Root Cause
The Gateway automatically watches all files under ~/.openclaw/workspace/ for changes. If you place virtual environments (.venv), node_modules, large datasets, or tens of thousands of small files inside workspace, the file watcher will exceed macOS's default file descriptor limit (256), causing the process to hang.
Auto-Fix (Recommended)
Run the one-click repair script: bash fix.sh What it does: Detects workspace file count Finds and removes unnecessary dependency directories (.venv, node_modules) inside workspace Backs up your existing LaunchAgent plist Updates LaunchAgent to set file descriptor limit to 524,288 Restarts the Gateway service Verifies service health
Manual Fix Steps
If you prefer to fix manually: Remove large directories from workspace: # Never put these inside ~/.openclaw/workspace/: rm -rf ~/.openclaw/workspace/*/.venv rm -rf ~/.openclaw/workspace/*/node_modules # Move datasets/models/venvs to ~/Downloads/ or /tmp/ Update LaunchAgent resource limits: Edit ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.openclaw.gateway.plist and add inside the root <dict>: <key>HardResourceLimits</key> <dict> <key>NumberOfFiles</key> <integer>524288</integer> </dict> <key>SoftResourceLimits</key> <dict> <key>NumberOfFiles</key> <integer>524288</integer> </dict> Restart Gateway: launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.openclaw.gateway.plist launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.openclaw.gateway.plist sleep 10 && openclaw gateway status
Permanent Rule (NEVER BREAK)
✅ Do NOT put these inside ~/.openclaw/workspace/: Python virtual environments (.venv, venv) Node.js node_modules directories Large datasets (>1000 files) AI model weights (.pt, .bin, .pth files) Cache directories with thousands of small files ✅ Put these outside workspace: /tmp/, ~/Downloads/, or any directory outside ~/.openclaw/workspace/
Verification
After fix, run: openclaw gateway status You should see RPC probe: ok in the output.
Troubleshooting
If fix fails: Check logs: tail -50 ~/.openclaw/logs/gateway.err.log Verify no large directories remain in workspace: find ~/.openclaw/workspace -type f | wc -l (should be < 1000) Manually restart Gateway: openclaw gateway stop && openclaw gateway install
